*beep beep beep*

My alarm started to go off telling me it was time to get up for work. Last night was perfect. I picked up my phone checking to see if there were any new messages. I had 4 messages from my mom, Kendall, Katie, and...My dad? I checked the one Fromm my dad first.

Sage sweetie you need to come home soon. We all miss you I know you are busy now with school but it would be great to see you. Anthony comes over asking when you are coming home. Call me later love you

I cringed at Anthony's name. He's one of the reasons I left California. Sure I also left because mom wanted me to go to her beauty school but I made her leave so much sooner then I should have. I could never go back to that place, it was all too much. I quickly replied to everyone, making sure to

Tell my mom I was on my way to the salon for work. My mom bought her own salon when we first moved her 3 years ago and now it's one of the top salons in NYC.

I got ready for the day

I got to the salon right on time and headed in to my moms office.

"hi hot momma" I said as I walked in.

"Hi Hun" she said not looking up from her computer. I took a seat im a chair across from her desk.

"Dad called again" I said with a sigh. This time she looked up at me and shook her head.

"Sage you have to tell him at some point why we left" I started to tear up. I couldn't tell dad why I made mom move. My mom and Marisa were the only people that knew about my dark past. I never wanted to relive it again so of that means I never talk to my dad again then that's what I'm going to do.

"Mom you know I can't do that." I said trying not to cry.

"Honey, you have to tell someone about what happened, we should have pressed charges." I shook my head.

"Mom we left, that's the best thing. I'm happy now." I said not looking at her. She eyed me.

"Let me see your legs then." I laid my hands on my thighs.

"I haven't done that lately mother." I pulled my shorts done more so you couldn't see my scars. I got up and went to start my day as a security. All I did all day was answer phones and book appointments, but I wouldn't trade this job for the world. Plus I got to watch people cut hair all day and learn new tips and tricks every day.

"Hey beautiful" I looked up and laughed.

"Hey Stella." she was my moms best hairstylists and I've known her since I was little.

"How was the concert that you were dreading last night?" she said smiling as I blushed. "You met a boy didn't you?!" I nodded my head.

"And get this Stell. He's in the band" her eyes got big.

"Oh lala Sage Isabella DuPont has a crush on a teeny bopper? Call the navy" we both broke into laughter.

"I know but he's different. We have a date once he gets off tour. "I smiled at the memory of Kendall asking me.

"Well Hun it will do you good, you haven't gone on a date since you moved here." I frowned at her. She didn't really know why we moved here just that I had to get out of Cali fast.

"You're right, hopefully this all works out" I said as she walked out back to the floor. Clients started walking in left and right. I love watching the hairstylist do their job. My phone started going off.

Good morning beautiful.

Good morning Kendall.

How's your morning going?

It's going what about yours?

Oh yunno it's just an average morning, did a photo shoot now going to the next venue.

I laughed so loud people started to stare at me.

Oh sounds like a pretty average morning... Not ;)

Hey for a rock star like me it is hahaha.

Mhm sure.

So do you have facebook twitter or Skype?

Are you trying to stalk me Schmidt?

Not at all what ever your last name is.

See you don't even know my last name ;) bet you don't even know how old I am.

18.

Creeper.

Nah I just know that you had to be 18 to take your sister and her friends and you said you just started hair school so I figured 18.

Hahaha oh. Well fb just look up sage DuPont. Twitter sagehairstyles and Skype:

Shut up.

Haha it's the truth though.

No it's not.

Yes

No

Yes

Shut up Schmidt

Never DuPont

Ugh.

I gtg. Skype tonight?

I'll be waiting ;)

I finished work and headed to my night class. I couldn't wait to get home. Oddly Kendall was growing on me, even though I promised myself that I wouldn't developed feelings or date anybody while I was in New York because of...what happened in Cali. No no sage no thinking about that. I ran my fingers under my bracelets across my scars. I didn't want to go back there, to the dark time of my life. We finished class up and I sprinted to my car to get back home fast.

Hey you done your show yet?!

Just about to go on beautiful talk to you in about two hours or less ;)

I took the time to watch some TV with Marissa.

"Hey Issa, what are you watching?"

She looked up from the TV.

"YouTube videos, mostly interviews from the boys" she grinned.

"Aw look at Kendall he looks so young" I laughed as I pointed to a young Kendall on my TV screen.

"It's their very first interview."

I smiled to myself. Marissa looked over at me.

"You like him don't you?" she said with a big grin on her face.

"No I hardly even know him."

"When are you gunna see him again?"

I checked my phone.

"Um in about an hour or so, after his concert we are gunna Skype"

"Awe sagey your face is all light up I don't know if I've ever seen you like this."

I laughed

"Don't set your hopes up to high of him being your brother in law; he could be like the rest of them"

She frowned.

"No, I think if anything he's going to help you and get you out of this."

I smiled at that and brought my knees to my chest.

"I hope so. I'm sick of therapy."

We decided on watching a movie called seconds apart*, which is my all time favorite movie. Half way through it my phone started going off. I groaned to myself. I hated when people interrupt me during my movies. I picked up my phone and un locked it.

Hey beautiful all done can we Skype now?

I smiled really big.

Yea hold on.

"Riss. I'm going to bed." she gave me a confused look.

"In the middle of this movie? Are you sick." she then got a big smile on her face "Skype with Kendall?"

I laughed as I headed up the stairs to my room

"Don't disturb me rissa."

I threw my hair up in a messy bun and threw on sweat pants and a tank top. I laid in bed and logged onto my laptop and Skype.

Kendizzzell wants to add you as a contact.

Kendizzzell really?! I hit accepted and waited. Sure enough as soon as I hit accepted he started to video call me.

"Well hey there sage."

"Hey there Kendizzzell." I laughed as he glared at me.

"I thought it was a cool name." He said with a pout.

"Awe it's the cutest thing in the world."

He laughed and then I saw some on come in the back ground.

"IS THAT SAGE? " I heard Carlos's voice.

"Uh yea hi Carlos."

"Oh sage Kendall won't stop talking bout ya"

"Shut up Carlos Kendall" said turning red.

"Carlos is right" I heard another voice say; right away I knew it was James.

"What do you all share one bus?"

Kendall laughed.

"No it's video game night meaning we stay up all night."

"Oh so should I let you go?"

"No!" He screamed.

"Yea sage he's talked non stop about this all day. It was 'I can't wait to see sage. What should I say? Does this shirt make me look hot?' I swear he changed 8 times before texting you."

I giggled.

"Shut up Logan! Wait that was the cutest thing ever do it again."

I gave him a confused look

"What?"

"That giggle it was so cute." It was my turn to turn red

"No it wasn't shut up."

"It was too"

"GET A ROOM YOU TWO."

"I am in my room though. "

"Yea and this is technically my bus guys."

"Well if you guys start trying to fuck over Skype we will leave."

I almost fell off my bed from laughing so hard. I couldn't believe these guys.

"Shut up carlitose." Kendall said bright red.

I couldn't stop laughing

"Breath sage breath."

"I can't" I choked out

"Don't make Kendall come give you mouth to mouth." I heard from my door way. I turned towards my door and saw Marissa.

" Sortez vous crasseux petite fille. Je vous ai dit de ne pas me déranger."

"Vous voulez moi à sortez si vous boîte baiser lui?"

"Tais-toi et foutre le camp avant que je leur dire à tous que vous prétendez les affiches sont vraiment et que vous faites avec eux." She turned bright red

"Votre chance aucun d'entre eux connaissent le français". She slammed my door shut

"You sound so hot when you speak in French, how are you so fluent in it?" I flipped him off.

"Long story, so how was the show?"

"Fine could have been better if you were there" he winked.

"Stop that."

"Stop what?"

"Being adorable."

"Why!?"

"Because I can't fall for you!"

"Why not?"

"Because I just can't"

"Tell me."

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Please."

I shook my head and started to let some tears fall.

"I have to go bye Kendall."

I quickly hit end call and cried myself to sleep.

-Kendall-

Just like that she was gone.

"Did we just have our first fight?"

I looked at the guys.

"Nah man I'm sure you're gunna have worse fights then that." Carlos said.

"She just ended the call before I could say goodbye, I just wanted to know why she couldn't fall for me?"

"Maybe she doesn't want to date a famous pop star ken." Logan suggested.

"Or she wants this." James said jester ring to himself.

"Sorry bud but uh I don't think you're her type." I said trying not to laugh.

"What do you mean I'm everyone's type!"

I laughed and threw a pillow at him.

"Alright let's get this video game thing going!" I said as I grabbed an Xbox paddle.
